ok just to bring you up to speed, im having another stab at getting our own board designed, based on the V3s. Delivery is due on August 6th
<peterm6881>
connectivity on exposed IO that we arent using will be on 2.54mm screw terminals, for convenience. Like alarm panels, or PLC's
<peterm6881>
So thats Ethernet, UART2, USB
<peterm6881>
We will have 2 PCB buttons to play with. The case will be clear, with appropriate holes
<peterm6881>
sc6502, I need to make a Feature Request
<peterm6881>
we need to be able to set a maximum speed below the map maxspeed tag
<peterm6881>
I suggest simply pressing Button A sets the maximum speed at 45, and subsequent presses increment the maximum speed by 5
<peterm6881>
regardless of MPH or KM/H
<peterm6881>
with confirmation on the display. This is for people who are learning to drive, or in the restricted probationary period, or are driving vehicles with a specific restriction
<peterm6881>
45 up to 60 should pretty much cover most eventualities, but we can tweak it if needed
<peterm6881>
45 up to 60, then back to off
<sc6502>
ok
<peterm6881>
sound sane?
<peterm6881>
Ross is learning to drive. Having that feature will get us in on the ground floor for a lifetime of safe driving
<peterm6881>
any questions?
<peterm6881>
When I know the GPIO Jamal is using for the buttons I'll let you know
<sc6502>
I guess it can just cycle from 30 to 120 or so
<peterm6881>
na it doesnt need that range, 45 to 60 should be enough
<sc6502>
Can do all sorts of things with a couple of buttons
<peterm6881>
beyond that is should use the map speed
<peterm6881>
below that isnt required
<sc6502>
single press, double press, press-hold-n-seconds
<Xogium>
buttons are so much fun
<Xogium>
hello there sc6502 :)
<sc6502>
hey Xogium
<Xogium>
hanging around in case you pop up from time to time
<peterm6881>
exactly guys. 2 is the sweeet spot for board real estate, versatility and simplicity
<peterm6881>
there will be an additional feature request sc6502
<Xogium>
gonna build another player made with that stm32 dev kit... Got sick of always taking the one in prod offline to toy with stuff over serial
<peterm6881>
im calling it that because its not a bug, its just how it works
<Xogium>
so that one's gonna be dev only
<peterm6881>
when Speedsaver loses its fix, at present it freezes on the last known data
<Xogium>
huh, didn't we fix that
<Xogium>
waaaay back
<peterm6881>
and stays that way untill it rights itself with a new fix
<Xogium>
somehow I thought that was one of the very first issue sc6502 worked on
<peterm6881>
it should revert to your cool graphic if it loses the fix, and possibly play the alarm tone once to warn
<peterm6881>
Xogium, i cant remember, but we could check the closed issues
<Xogium>
maybe I got it mixed up with something else
<Xogium>
must have gotten it mixed up with something else then
<peterm6881>
Its a fairly minor annoyance, generally in the morning when the GPS is doing a cold start. It can get a basic 3 sat fix, but then lose it as you drive that initial part of the journey, because it wasnt strong to begin with
<peterm6881>
maybe among trees or urban canyons
<peterm6881>
its kinda no brainer that it should revert to looking for a fix instead of just freezing like that
<peterm6881>
so if you're happy enough sc6502 and have no further questions, I'll raise those in due course
<Xogium>
ugh, you guys know what is the most annoying thing with things that use grove as connector ?
<peterm6881>
how are things with you guys? sorry for the radio silence. No news is good news, and I prefer to bury bad news
<peterm6881>
go ahead Xogium :)
<Xogium>
they are just attached to grove connectors, and they don't get to fit in a breadboard. Then dangle from wires
<Xogium>
this grove buzzer is quite literally acting like a pendulum
